MSI is One of Two to Achieve Status for Both Products in North America

[Omaha, Neb. - October 13, 2008] - MSI Systems Integrators (MSI), a leading comprehensive solution provider of hardware, software, and services, and IBM Premier Business Partner, has received IBM Tivoli's AAA Deployment Accreditation for Tivoli Storage Manageer (TSM) and TotalStorage Productivity Center (TPC). MSI is one of only three business partners worldwide who have achieved AAA status for both products.

The AAA accreditation honors those who have achieved the highest standards in technical certifications for delivering Tivoli-based solutions. Each accreditation level requires deployment professionals and solution advisors to have in-depth knowledge either across a broad range of Tivoli solutions or around a single product. Each level reflects the number of dedicated professionals within the firm that have achieved the required skill competencies.

The AAA Deployment Accreditation demonstrates MSI's customer commitment with IBM to bring the highest level of expertise and support to its customer base.

"This demonstrates our continued commitment to our clients, implementing data management solutions that support their business needs," said Tony Regier, senior vice president, Storage, MSI. "The certification provides additional assurance that our clients are working with some of the top IT engineers and architects in the industry."
